Canon SD1400 IS camera sucks

I've been shooting with the SD1400 for four or five days now and have to conclude that aside from its pretty face this is one of the worst small digital cameras I’ve ever used. My brother-in-law also had the same results. Look around online. The reviews coming from most shooters is that apart from the pretty face this camera sucks! . . . . soft focus, noisy and pure garbage. It is wonderful in so far as it is small and great looking, and the videos are decent. But, even in bright light, no matter what settings you use, the photos come out soft, highlights are often blown, and noisy. Take my advice. Get something that ain't so pretty or light but at least gives you decent photos. Cheers!
